One of the biggest media manipulations was calling this conflict a war to make each side seem of equal strength, this was always a completely disproportionate genocidal onslaught of a superpower on a captive state.
@
Not only is Gaza is occupied, the British government is also also occupied by the same folks
@
I gave up my Labour membership when Starmer tried to gaslight us over Gaza.
@
Labour lost me when Starmer when he said it was ok to cut off food, electricity and water. I could not believe it when he said it.

The truth will be uncomfortable for those lacking candidness regardless of any political,social,religious,etc affiliation.❤

Anyone who lacks empathy for Palestinians is unlikely to have genuine sympathy for the British people either.
@
Amazing Starmers comments played back. Disgusting man.

Must remember Andy Burnham is Labour Party friend of Israel?
@
I’ve never forgiven Starmer for his stance on Gaza and subsequently left the Labour Party.
@
Starmer, the man who used a Labour victory to destroy the Labour Party.

I hope he and his family never suffer what the families of Gaza have. Which is more than he can say.
@
starmer would sooner hand over the keys of 10 downing street to farage than stand up to israel.

The question is whether Burnham will stand his ground against the Zionist backlash or will he U-turn on this inoffensive comment.

Actions speak louder than words.
- sanction Israel for what it's doing in Gaza/West Bank
- sanction UAE for what it's doing in Sudan
- reverse ban on PA and quash the terrorism charges against Old Age Pensioners for holding up a sign.

he can drop the persecution of palestine action for a start
